Great value, solid product
Seems very sturdy with plenty of small pockets and carrying spaces for accessories. Fits both me and my wife pretty well and I'm 6' 5", she's 5' 7", so it can obviously handle a range of people (some laptop bags are notorious for being uncomfortable on tall people). The laptop seems secure, I only have two complaints. One is that the elastic that holds the laptop in place seems to stretch out a bit, so I worry that eventually it might lose some protection. Second is that there isn't too much room in the bag for books, so it's of somewhat limited use for a student. This, I think is a common problem in laptop bags, so I don't know how much more I can really expect.

This is a great bag! I use it daily.
The bag is very nice. It is big enough to hold two laptops if you do not need to carry textbooks around. I put my E1505 in it and it is a tight fit. They have a design with the space between the laptop sleeve inside and the botton of the bag (I forgot how it is named). IMHO, it is just a design without any real meaning of protecting your laptop. I just add another form under that and I think that would be more helpful in protecting my equipment.
Wicked Good Back Pack
A sore back and a sore shoulder forced me to search for a better means to carry my laptop.I took a month to research laptop backpacks and finally settled on the Kensington Contour.I didn't want to buy a Kensington.I wanted a backpack making company with a name I knew, like Jansport,or Kelty.I've been a backpacker and was familiar with their products.I settled on the Kensington because it had the qualities I was seeking: comfort, quality materials and design, water proofing, laptop padding, urban black, rugged exterior, sophisticated appearance, lots of pockets, adjustable lumbar support with back padding and a water bottle pocket.I write and work in media for a living.Mostly I work at home, but once a week I travel to cities.This pack does exactly what I want it to do - have places for everything I need, protect my precious laptop, and look hip. ...

Broken
I ordered 2 spool packages of sony DVD R's both packages were broken and the disks were all over the box. i realize that it was some what cheaper but come on compusa dont throw your trash at me. The packaging looked broken before shipping. I hope i am wrong and it happened during shipping but i really doubt it.
Highly Reliable Media
I've burned hundreds of this specific media from Sony, both in Pioneer, Hitachi, and LG burners without problem, up to 16x speed on burn.
Reliable!
I'm burning DVD's on a Mac Powerbook G4 1G with a 2x SuperDrive.I tried Verbatim, Maxell, Memorex, Imation...all had a failure rate of anywhere from 25-75%.I switched to this Sony DVD-R as a last resort before I was about to upgrade to a new PowerBook with the 8x Superdrive.I have now burned 25 DVD's without a failure. ...

• OMNIMOUNT PLASMA TILTING WALL MOUNT

Reviews (13)

Decent system
Overall pleased with the mount.It is important to locate the studs.The newer stud finders are very good and makes this process easy without having to drill tiny holes.Once the TV is on the mount, there isn't much space between the wall and the TV to make connections.It is better to have the appropriate connections in place before the TV is hung.If not, you will end up having to make the connections by feel and using a mirror.I hung a 51" Panasonic before making any of the connections.I ended up having to plug in the power cord and cable connections by feel.This isn't a problem if you've got a readily available companion to help lift the TV off of the mount.

It does exactly what it is supposed to!
Right out of the box the directions were clear and concise. The mounting hardware was great. I felt very comfortable putting my new tv on this.

Fits likea 'T'
I bought this mount for my Philips 37" (37PF7320A/37) LCD TV. I think it is an overkill for my TV, since it weighs about 70 lbs. Also, the VESA mount is 200x400. This mount is about the only one that fits my TV. Quite easy to install as well. ... Read more

Great product!
I ride a bus twice a day and want some privacy there when working on my notebook computer, so I bought this product. It includes sticky tabs to affix the screen to the monitor, and also sticky tabs with little clear non-sticky handles so that you can slide the filter out when you don't need it. I used the ones that allow for easy removal of the filter, since I do not need the privacy screen except for when I'm riding the bus. The filter does somewhat darken the screen to the user, and it also does the job of keeping your screen private from people sitting nearby. I like this product and would recommend it to others.

Great Product
You can almost completely stop those peeping toms with this filter.While it is not 100% effective, it does block or blur most of the view from people who are not directly behind you.You can kind of see the double sided tape squares you place in each corner to keep it affixed to your monitor but it isn't obvious enough to be annoying or distracting.
Works Great
I bought this with some hesitation after reading one negative review...but I'm glad I got it because it works great but keep in mind you have to have the shiney side facing the monitor for it to work properly ... Read more

Not as advertised
Very frustrating to install and try to get operational.I had good luck sometimes, then complete failure other times.I am returning.After installation it worked well, then I powered down the laptop.I could not get it to switch back to the desktop without powering the laptop up again.Just not ready for prime time.

Works Great with wy Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
It works perfectly with my Logitech DiNovo wireless keyboard and mouse combo (single USB adapter). No problems whatsoever. I am running XP Pro on both a docked laptop and a PC (I do NOT run mac or Linux). The delay when I "flip" is only a few seconds. "Flipping" does cause my PC/Laptop to make the "new device found" tones (I am sure I can disable that notification). No resolution issues and I run at 1600x1200.
Not recognized by MacBook Pro
I couldn't get my MacBook Pro laptop to work with this KVM despite various attempts involving reboots in all sorts of combinations. The most I can get is an "Unrecognized keyboard" screen. The video line is similarly disappointing -- when I plug the KVM to the video jack on my laptop (using the DVI-to-VGA adapter that comes with the Mac), it triggers the display search sequence on Mac OS X but only the built-in display is found.

Quality Construction, Easy Installation
This is a high quality, precision made piece. I'm very particular about the construction of things that I buy and this Peerless arm more than met my expectations. It was easy to attach to the back of my 32" LCD television and equally easy to mount to the wall. I read a review of another arm where the buyer complained that there were many pieces to assemble. Not so here. Everything is assembled except for the mounting plates that attach to the back of the screen. All hardware is included along with clear, complete instructions. I'd be surprised if you could find something better.

Excellent!
The mounting arm is impressive as soon as you take it out of the box. It is well built and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. The Peerless website has a great compatibility chart that you can check before ordering. A quality product that you can feel good about attaching your $2,000 panel to.

Solid Wall Mount
Overall, very happy with this mount.Used it for an Olevia LT37HVS and it works as advertised. A little frustrating that it rotates a little too easily, so it's difficult to get the tv level after moving it in or out.But well worth the price. ... Read more

Amazing mouse surface, but problem with Logitech G5 Mouse!
Bought this pad because it was the best and I do a lot of graphic work. The pad is amazing and larger than I thought...but the control side of the pad does not work with my wired Logitech G5 mouse :( The speed side of the pad works fine and is alright, but disappointed that the control side did not work.

first impressions
I just got this pad today and its a good pad from what i have experienced.I am happy with it and it does the job with 2 surfaces to choose from.I flip it over to speed side for gaming and back to slower side for graphic design and image editing.Of course it's your preference, but the option is nice to have.I might even get another of these when I setup my office.30 bux aint a bad investment in somethin that reeks in increasing mouse productivity.I have reviewed many products on the market and this is another one of those quality items.Razer is a very good name.If you know anything about computer products and quality, then you ought to have a good mouse pad.For the average joe, who aint computer inclined...probably a hard surface pad wouldnt mean anything much.
Great Mouse pad
The Razer eXactMat is worth every penny!The two surfaces are perfect for gaming and are 100% better with my Razer Copperhead mouse.I had a regular mousepad before this one and didn't have nearly the control.

Lead???
OK folks, it's time to use a little common sense when you say something. To complain about lead without know the facts is idiotic. According to Belkin's Material Safety Data Sheet for these mouse pads, lead content is less than 0.03% lead. That means it could be (and most likely is) less than that.Lead is an element that appears in MANY items naturally, including food and drinking water! To review something poorly like this reveals how stupid you really are. Do some research and calculate how much lead you ingest yearly through breathing and ingestion before you make ridiculous claims.

Papa's got a brand new mousepad!
I'm sorry for the horrible subject lining... but yes, I just bought this mousepad minutes ago, and am trying it as we speak. I've always been into mousepads... whether for their design, easiness to use, and of course accuracy and comfort. I've always wanted a gel-mousepad but haven't gotten around to getting one. I recently saw the IConcepts Large Mousepad (the dark blue circular one with a fairly small and oversized wrist rest). Anyways, that was my initial choice b/c of the price ($6.99), but it was basically rigid. So naturally I began looking at the other brands on display... and saw this exact same Belkin product... in color black. Soft enough, decent price ($9.99) and the wrist rest was large/wide enough to support the ENTIRE wrist (god help those who actually move their mouse throughout the ENTIRE pad, right, just like the rest of us), anyways, I went down and saw the color in silver, and got it for the same price.
Good comfortable wrist support.
I'm glad some reviewers have commented that the wrist pad has lead, and shouldn't be used by those with lead allergies or little children who might eat it.

best mouse I ever owned, period
Originally purchased this mouse for laptop use, but it immediately became my favorite mouse ever -- even for desktop use. Now I have Stowaways for all computers used on a routine basis.
Mouse & Keyboard combination a winner
The Think Outside Bluetooth Stowaway Travel Keyboard & Mouse arrived the day before I had to go to a meeting in Palm Springs. By the time I got to the meeting I was up and running with both. They worked flawlessly, although the learning curve is a bit steep at times with the keyboard. No problems at all with the mouse. Not having a number row on the keyboard keeps its footprint small, but adds a couple of function keys; that takes some to to adjust. That said, I felt completely at ease leaving my laptop at home; this combo makes my Axim x51v a real workhorse in meetings.
This product is excellant.

Keeps my key PC from suffering hard shutdowns
At my house, during rain storms, there will often be a quick flash of the lights as a branch somewhere falls on the power lines.That type of event would always cause my PC to turn off, and I could loose quite a bit of work or even problems on the hard drive.This little device has keept that from happening for some time.I am very pleased.The battery that is in it does not keep the best "time" estimates for battery life, but knowing that the short spikes or loss of power will not cause me issues makes it worth the price.

directions are impossible to understand
The product works fine, but the directions are stupidly complicated. We had to hire someone to help us install it, and we both have Masters degrees.

Hunk of junk, go for the manual version
Luckily, I didn't pay a penny for the motorized SkipDr. as it was given to us as a "prize." I have the original (manual) SkipDr. which worked every time, and I always end up using it instead. It has more than paid for itself in repaired CD's--$20 for an entire kit at a wholesale club that came with spare sanding discs and the whole shebang.

A simple reliable device for home usage
The IT department in my company tried to used such a switch to connect two machines of mine: one is a Win XP Server, one is a docking station for an IBM ThinkPad running Win XP Pro. It just did not work: either mouse got no response, or keyboard, or both. So the IT guy threw it away and tried another one, same brand/model, still did not work.

easy installaiton, fast response, keyboard switch. My setting: Logitech MX-1000 wireless mouse, compaq wired keyboard. recommended.

Good product, but could be better
I bought two of these units, one for me and one for my grandfather and both of the A/V cable included were damaged within a week. It must be a cheap cable because the units were never moved from their original position.

This product was purchased as a replacement for an exact duplicate unit which failed. Itworks well, instructions are somewhat vague.

Won't be disappointed with this Peerless Mount
I just finished installing this mount for my 32" Sony LCD, and I am very happy with my selection.After looking at dozens of mounts online, this one stood out right away for its aesthetics and clean lines.I saw many articulating arms in the $200+ range that appeared to be over engineered and frankly were not as clean as this peerless mount.
An Awesome Articulating Arm!
I purchased a 32" flat panel LCD HDTV for our bedroom and wanted to wall mount it to get it off the floor and take advantage of it's thin profile.The problem was finding decent mounting systems at our local "Big Box" electronic stores.Not to mention the high price.After a lengthy Internet search, I settled on this brand and model.We wanted to be able to move our TV to differentpositions (while still being fixed mounted on the wall) so we could watch it from various points in our bedroom (from the bed, from a sitting area, from the bathroom, etc).Most of the mounts I found on the Internet cost a fortune and did little more than tilt your TV up and down.This Peerless arm does so much more.It swings, swivels, and tilts to virtually any viewing angle you can imagine or need.Plus the mounting plate will fit virtually any LCD or plasma model.I suggest visiting the Peerless web site for specific information regarding compatibility with your TV brand and model.

Good Adapter, but no cable
I start by saying I made a careless mistake. I was looking for a DVI to HDMI cable and ended up buying this on accident. This adapter works fine so far, but there is no difference in picture quality between this and the component cables I was using previously. I do not know if it is worth the price premium. Maybe I will notice an improvement in picture in the future, but as of right now, I do not think I would purchase this item if I had to do it all over again.

I really like this bag
I just brought a 17" HP laptop and could not find a bag that I liked to fit it. I found this one and like it and figured if it didn't work that I would return it. I won't be returning this bag, it is great, it fits my laptop and I still have room for all the accessories that I have. My phone, PDA, camera and much more fit in this bag. I now do not have to carry several little bags I can put everything in this bag and be on my way. It even has room for some of my school books.

Great Quality
I had a hard time finding a laptop bag in the stores that was big enough for a 17 inch widescreen and when I did see a couple here and there they were of inferior quality. Then I came on Amazon and saw this one. This is the Perfect bag with ample room to store all you need. You can fit a lot in the bag besides the laptop. It contains several other compartments to store whatever else youd like to take along with you. The bag is made of high quality leather and has an adjustable strap you can either attach or just carry the bag by the handle. This is a very well made notebook holder and you will be proud to carry it. Highly Recommended/Good Value for the money.
